Ottawa's Technology Landscape

Ottawa is home to a large number of IEEE and CASS/EDS/SSCS members. It has two large universities offering programs in various aspects of electrical engineering:

  • Carleton University
  • University of Ottawa

Ottawa is also home to several Research and Development Institutions:

  • National Research Council of Canada
  • Communications Research Center of Canada
  • Canadian Microelectronics Corporation, etc.

as well as home to large number many technology companies (more than 200) focused on Circuits and Systems, Electronic Devices, and solid-state products. Some of the prominent companies, including:

  • Ericsson
  • Alcatel-Lucent
  • Microsemi
  • JDS Uniphase
  • Solantro
  • March Networks
  • Ciena
  • MOSAid
  • ChipWorks
  • Semiconductor Insights
  • TSMC Canada
  • Solectron
  • Celestica

Circuits and Systems Society (CASS)

The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society is the leading organization that promotes the advancement of the theory, analysis, design, tools, and implementation of circuits and systems. The field spans their theoretical foundations, applications, and architectures, as well as circuits and systems implementation of algorithms for signal and information processing.

The Society brings engineers, researchers, scientists and others involved in circuits and systems applications access to the industry’s most essential technical information, networking opportunities, career development tools and many other exclusive benefits.

Electron Devices Society (EDS)

The IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) is one of the technical societies & councils that you can join as an IEEE member.

EDS began in 1952 as a committee of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). With the merger in 1963 of the IRE and the American Institute of Radio Engineers, EDS became a technical group under the newly formed IEEE. In 1976, EDS became a society of IEEE.

Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)

With over 9,000 members around the world, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society focuses on fabricated integrated circuit designs -- in contrast to simulated circuits and analyzed models-- for all applications using relevant materials and interconnections.

The Society produces the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC), the most downloaded technical journal in IEEE Xplore, and sponsors the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the world's premier circuits realization conference.
